Serious allegations have emerged against the principal of the Chalandri Vocational High School, who reportedly mandated students to engage in manual labor as a condition for waiving their absences. Following the emergence of these claims, it has been announced that the principal will be removed from her position, and further actions from the educational authorities are anticipated. The situation has prompted a reaction from the Ministry, indicating that they will intervene in this matter.

Parents and students expressed their relief at the government's involvement, with one mother stating that they are satisfied with the outcome so far, although no official statement from the school has been released. The allegations detail that the principal allegedly forced students to conduct technical work around the school—such as digging and painting—in exchange for removing their recorded absences. This practice has raised serious concerns regarding the ethics and legality of such actions within the educational environment.

Reports indicate that first-year high school students were directed to dig a trench in the school courtyard for drainage purposes. These activities were conducted without proper oversight or prior consent from the parents, thus escalating the controversy and leading to an urgent need for oversight of the school's operational ethics. The case has sparked a broader discussion about the responsibilities of school authorities and the treatment of students in the education system in Greece.
